CHRIsTENsEN's REMOVAL.
Tom Bowen's Version of the
Change in the Redwood Falls
Land Office.

Tom Bowen's Version of the
Change in the Redwood Falls
Land Office.
Sleepy Eye Herald Dem.).
1t appears that the appointment of
James Greeley, of Franklin, to the posi-
ton of register of the United States land
Office at Redwood Falls was total sur
prise to Mr.. Christensen, the present in
cumbent. Mr.. Christensen was ap-
pointed eighteen months ago on the
recommendation of Ignatius Donnelly.
No charge has been made against him,
at least not any that has been made
public, and no complaint has been made
to Mr.. Christensen by the department.
A dispatch from Washington quotes
Secretary Lamar as saying that Mr..
Christensen was not satisfactory. SIM
ply this and nothing more. If there is
good cause for the change it seems
strange that it is not given out. 1t is
also remarkable that no notice of dis
satisfaction with his work was commu-
nicated officially to Mr.. Christensen.
An administration which is so delicate
in removing Republican OfficehOlderS,
and which processes to remove them for
cause, should give a Democratic office
holder some chance to hear an accuSa-
ton against him, if there is any, and to
defend himself before he is thus kicked
out. There are good reasons for be-
lieving that Mr.. Doran, during his late
trip to Washington. secured this change.
Mr.. Christensen has been counted as
one of the antd-boss Democrats of Min
nes0ta, while Greeley, the new ap-
p0intee, is tool Of the bosses. If the
change is due, to spite work on the part
of Mr.. Doran, the general statement
that Mr.. Christensen was unsatisfactory
is easily accounted for. 1t is simply a
manufactured excuse.

A CALL TO ARMS.
The Settlers on the Maxwell Grant

PATTON, N. NJ, June 27.-There is
tronble1amOng the settlers on the Max

the territory, and the bitter feeling
towards its claimants is growing
stronger daily. Threats are heard on
every hand. The following is copy of
bill which has been issued for a meet

Shoulder asms! Forward march! Settlers
The so-called Maxwell grant is public do

entered as public land in 1874 by the final
and authoratiye judgment of the secretary of
the interior. The final Judgment, settlers

1t has been treated by contempt by specula-

been reversed. Commissioner Williamson,

court did not dare say in its printed decision,
although the matter was brought to its
attention, that Commissioner William
decision of the secretary of the interior.
The nine supreme court corruptionists
lodged this point in the interest of the pub
lie land thieves. In pretending to arbitrarily
reverse the final and vested judgment of the
secretary of the interior, Commissioner Will
Hanson committed an infamous crime in the
interest of these heightened public land
thieves. Settlers you are now asked to SUBJ
init to this outrageous crime. Don't do it.

attention of the nation to the crimes to be
committed by Williamson in arbitrarily sur
veying the public lands in the Maxwell grant,
then by all means let us have a rumpus.

of the fact that one of his race has no
rights in this country that true born
American is bound torespect, has so far
forgotten his proper position as to excel
his two hundred odd classmates in
scholarship.
Not content with carrying off the
First Year Honor, the LARNED prize
for scholarship, he has made the insult
deeper by adding to it the prize for
political science, history and law, and
as though this were not indignity
enough to heap upon his fellows, he has
also taken unto himself the prize for
proficiency in English. Though, of
course, his fault is not so grievous as it
would have been had he displaced some
student native born in the Varsity boat
crew or on the college nine, still "his
offense is rank" and even though it
may not ''smell to heaven,2i it remains
painfully apparent to his classmates
whom he has wOrSted in academic
combat.
We fancy they must already have in
preparation protest against the ruin
which is thus brought upon them by
this species of Chinese cheap labor, but
the way for revenge is open for them.
Let selected number of Yale students
migrate at once to China and by a few
hundred years of close application
wrest all the prizes from their class
mates in some Chinese university.

MILWAUKEE sHREWDNEsS.
How the Postmaster of That City
Managed to Get His Salary
Raised

Managed TO Get His Salary
Raised.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON June 27.-Under the
new adjustment of the salaries of the
postmasterS Milwaukee is placed
500 above either of the Twin
Cities. The department officials say
that this does not signify, in large
Offices, either an increase in population
or growth. 1t happens that the Milwau-
kee houses made large purchases of
stamped envelopes during the last
quarter. and thereby greatly increased
the percentage of the receipts of the
p0stoffice at that place. The depart
ment knows of no reason why this fact
should operate other than in favor of
the Office at Milwaukee. 1t is believed,
however, that unless this rate of sales
can be continued the salary will be cut
down to its former figure at the close of
the next quarter. Ii the same rate of
sales shall continue the salary of the
Office will be further raised. Other than
official sources of information go to
show that the postmaster at Milwaukee
shrewdly manipulated the matter in
order to make good showing in the
annual adjustment of salaries. Every
thing depends upon the postmaster in
such matters. He can increase or di-
miniSh his salary by thrift.

Fatal Collision.

WHEELING, W. Va, June 27.-About
3p'clock this morning the fifth section
of freight train No. 100, on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, ran into the rear
of the fourth section of the same train
at Barricksyille, Marion county, seven
s=tsso miles east of this city. Section five
was in charge of Engineer John Jen-
nIngsand Conductor a. G. Collins, and
the other train of Conductor John Moran
and Engineer Jerry Nolan. The fourth
section had stopped for some purpose,
and a flagman was sent back, but sec
ton five was following so closely that it
was impossible to check its speed, and it
crashed into the forward train. Engineer
Jennings was found dead beneath por-
ton of his wrecked engine. jennings
fireman, John Davis, was badly hurt, but
not dangerously, as he jumped when he
saw the accident was Unavoidable
Twelve cars were wrecked and four
cars of cattle were nearly all killed.
The cars caught fire, and were burned.

NEEDS A Blue PILL.

The celebrated DR.. JONATHAN Ed
WARDS is quoted as having once said
that torpid liver was the greatest OBJ
stacle in the world to the enjoyment of
pure and indebted religion. There are
doubtless cases where a dose of blue
mass will afford more comfort to a GER
tain class of Christians than a volume of
sermons. And, if Rev. SAM JONES
is correctly quoted in his last Sunday
morning sermon, he evidently belongs
to that class. 1t was a very bold asser-
ton for the evangelist to make when he
said that there was not an editor in
either of the Twin cities who had any
respect for the Gospel. That was an
exhibition of ignorance OH his part which
is totally ineXcuSable. We are forced to
the .humiliating confession that the sec
ular press too often treats religious mat
tiers with an unbecoming levity There
is too much of disposition Oh the part
OF humorous photographers to get off
jokes at the expense of sacred
things. But while this irreligious
levity is more prevalent among
American newspapers than it ought to
be, still it is not half as bad as some of
our dyspeptic preachers are disposed to
paint it. As rule, the American Sec
ular press shows most profound re-
spect for sacred things. A secular
paper is not expected to be theological
text book. That is not its mission in
the world Nor is it expected to fill up
its columns with religious discussions
and puffs of pulpit orators. 1t is the
business Of the newspaper to treat
churches and preachers and religious
meetings just as they treat everything
else, from a news standpoint exclu-
sively. That is the way the st. Paul
and Minneapolis newspapers have
treated Evangelists JONES and SMALL.
Because some paragrapher now and
then went out of his way to give dig
at them does not justify Mr.. JONES in
his sweeping assertion that there are no
editors in the Northwest who have re-
spect for the gospel. We do not accuse
him of intending to utter a. falsehood,
for we think he was betrayed into
making it by the malignant feel
ing which result from ali inactive
liver. Still there was probably
not man, woman or child in
the entire audience, who was not con

fourteen feet. His head struck the
ground and was terribly bruised. His
brain sustained severe concussion,
from which he is unconscious. His
spine was injured and the bones of one
foot broken. The negro, whose name
has not been learned, disappeared. The
white boy lies in a dying condition at
his house. Neither one of the lads was
more than thirteen Years of age.

More Reports of the Manitoba.

Some time ago the GLOBE published
dispatch stating that the contract to
grade the Manitoba road from Minot to
Bismarck had been let to Shepard az
Co., of Minneapolis. The Bismarck
Tribune took the iberty-of contradict
ing the statement. The Bismarck Set
tier publishes the following:
After all the investigation that we have
been able to give the subject, we are forced
to conclude that the facts are being kept
back for purpose and that the Manitoba
railroad is coming. At the same time that
the telegram appeared in the GLOBE, S. F.
Lambert, of this city, sub-contractor for
from Minnesota: Il think the job that we
go to this time will be our last in this coun-
try, and then | will be home. We will go to
work in Dakota Later he writes that the
Manitoba will build from Minot to Bismarck
and that he has contract to commence the
grading before the LIST of August and says:
Il would not care for Fortunes contract at
10 cents per yard. The Manitoba will have
a road in there first. They intend to build
400 miles in Dakota this year. Yesterday
A. G. Comstock, of Moorhead, who has long
been TOWNSHIP agent for the Manitoba road,
was in the city and assured friends here that
the Manitoba would run trains into Bismarck
before winter He said that they had the
iron and all things necessary and also stated
that the Manitoba would build another cross
road soon, either to connect with the James
town Northern or to tap the Northern Pacific
at Jamestown.

CHICAGO, June 27.-At a meeting of
the board of directors of the American
Exchange National bank to-day the res
ignation of ID. w. Irwin as president of
the bank was received, and at the earn
est solicitation of Mr.. Irwin was ac-
cepted. ID. b. Dewey, of the directory,

tribute to Mr.. TWINS merit and long
service were adopted without dissent
ing voice, as were the other resolutions
denying ''any rum0rS that may have
been current charging him with i'm

interests, and asserting that
neither he nor the. house with
which he is associated have asked or re-
celved any accommodation that might
not properly be extended to any Gus
toner of any bank" By formal vote
MIR. Irwin was requested to remain i'll
the directory. To make good any i'm
pairment of the capital stock of the bank
an assessment Of 80 per cent. was Or
dered levied at once. A member of the
directory said after the meeting that no
fault had been found with Mr.. TWINS
services. nor was there any lack of con-
fidence in him, but there was feeling
outside that his connection with the
board of trade would perhaps impair
public confidence in the bank, and be-
cause of this fact Mr.. Irwin was very
anxious to have some other member of
the directory take his place at the banks
head. He will remain member of the

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

This is the season of the year when
children are fond Of Straying into the
woods in search of wild flowers. The
little folks are generally ignorant of the
poisonous qualities of many of the flow
ers and vines that grow wild. There is
no vine more sought after than wild
ivy, and there is none more poisonous.
Those who have once been poisoned be-
come so susceptible to the malefcent
influence that the wind blowing from
ivy often affects them.
~
A person who has been sufferer from
ivy poisoning prescribes the following
remedy: Apply bread poultice, a
slice of bread soaked in water, one side
covered with soda, the poultice being
applied to the eruption, the soda next to
the flesh. AS the bread is dried by the
animal heat drop water on the outer
side, so as to keep it thoroughly moist
ened and dissolve the soda crystals in
contact with the skin. Ordinarily the
poultice need not be kept OH more than
thirty minutes.
Here is an argument in favor of early
marriages. An English statistician has
discovered that in every 1000 bachelors
there are IS criminals, while among
married men the ratio is only Is per

criminals show that there is only old
maid in every 1000 female criminals.

Minnesota's Curious Freak.

Red Lake Falls News.
Minnesota has some curious freaks,
and among them is the universal habit
of abusing the railroads; and before
this habit is cold in their mouths they go
to voting bonds for the sure purpose of
securing more of them. At first they
were glad the interstate commerce law
was passed, because 1t benefited them
and prevented discrimination; then it
was, the law favored none but railroads,
giving them higher rates; and now they
are growing because the roads are
threatening to take steps to have the
acts of the commissioners set aside, be-
cause they were not confirmed by the
United States senate
